THE WELCOME. 79 Scene in the shade of the trees beside the house of WILLIAM, SR. , the artist who rescued WILLIAM, ]u. , /r0m the haunted house and adopted him as his eldest son, keeping the secret from him. Wm. Welcome, my trusty friends who gather here ! Warm summer's breath ne'er hummed a sweeter chime Than as it whispers through the venerable boughs That shelter us to listen to its song. It sings to you and me of years just past So lately when the tree-fringed* welkin rung With merry shouts... and boisterous revelry From the lithe tongues of our erratic boys. Now they are men in measure and in strength ; Not wayward in their bent and turn of mind, But yet a cap of gray for their green heads Would utilize the force of their young brains, And lead them to the paths of coming fame Where western empire's star is rising now ; Yes, where a thousand leafy falls Have flushed the soil with everlasting strength, Through fertile valleys wild and desolate, Trod only by the deer and pilfering wolf.
